Tenders are invited for Web Development Company - SOG Platform Revamping. Closing Date: Sunday, 29. Jun 2025 Intervention Sector(s): Advocacy & Awareness, Training & Capacity Building Entity Background Transparency International Lebanon (TI-LB) is Lebanons leading advocate for transparency, accountability, and good governance. Since 1999, TI-LB has been on the front lines of the fight against corruption, working to strengthen institutional integrity across Lebanons public and private sectors. As the national chapter of Transparency International, we believe in more than just envisioning a corruption-free societywe are actively making it happen by driving change, empowering citizens, and holding institutions accountable. With a people-centred approach, TI-LB tackles corruption from multiple angles, guided by a robust Impact Matrix that emphasizes three core areas: Policy & Institutional Change, Behaviour Change, and Awareness & Outreach. We operate as a guiding thread and conveying channel between international organizations, civil society, and citizens, creating a chain of dialogue and collaboration that promotes a participative approach to anti-corruption efforts. This continuous exchange of information fosters transparency ensures well-informed communities, and bridges gaps between global standards and local needs. To achieve meaningful, lasting change, TI-LB builds robust, long-term partnerships with a network of dedicated national, local, and international organizations working across Lebanon. These partnerships enhance our strategic reach, propelling TI-LB to deliver anti-corruption initiatives that are both globally aligned and locally impactful. By combining international standards with deep community engagement, we ensure that our programs not only meet global benchmarks but are also highly responsive to Lebanons unique governance challenges and diverse community needs. 2. Project Background Over the last twenty years, Iraq has grappled with political instability, leading to significant transformations in its institutions. These changes have shifted the country toward a democratic system, where the parliament now wields increased authority over the executive branch however, this system remains fragile. The abrupt nature of these changes, without a gradual learning curve for the Iraqi population, has impeded various good governance processes, such as Asset Recovery. Key challenges involve a weak legal framework on a national level: Iraqs legal framework for asset recovery lacks the necessary structure to allow effective asset recovery processes both on the national and international levels. Currently, Iraq has legislation on Asset recovery, namely: Law No. 18 of 2008 regarding the seizure of smuggled funds prohibited from being traded in local markets; Law No. 9 of 2012 promulgating the Iraq Asset Recovery Fund Law; Law No. 23 of 1971 on Criminal Procedure and Law No. 39 of 2015 on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing include relevant provisions. Currently, there is a new draft law for asset recovery in Iraq, however the draft doesnt precisely define the scope of the laws application and overlaps in some areas with the already existing legislation also conflicting with international law elements pertaining to human rights. Additionally, the draft lacks necessary provisions that would enable the state to recover smuggled assets, information accessibility to other countries and other provisions relating to what the UNCAC calls for on Asset Recovery. An additional challenge is the lack of engagement and cooperation of host countries as asset recovery involves transnational cooperation. Iraq has obstacles implementing the needed measures and processes to ensure effective coordination with different governments to retrieve assets. There is a pressing need to (1) bolster the legal frameworks and enhance the capabilities of institutions responsible for investigating, identifying, and requesting assistance from holding or destination countries to achieve meaningful progress in this regard. Till today, asset recovery efforts by Iraq still lack strength and effectiveness. This (2) showcases a need to raise awareness and build capacities of state actors but also civil society organizations to advocate for stronger legal frameworks that comply with international standards and conventions. This project comes to (3) address the need to build and strengthen capacities in the different aspects of the asset recovery process to address the challenges that Iraq is facing in establishing strong asset recovery laws and mechanisms as well as requesting the stolen assets from foreign countries 3. Scope of Work Transparency International Lebanon (TI-LB) is seeking a qualified and experienced website development company to implement a series of enhancements to its School of Governance (SoG) website (www.schoolofgovernance.net). These enhancements aim to improve the platforms technical performance, multimedia capabilities, and overall user experience in support of newly introduced self-paced courses, particularly within the Iraqi context. Key upgrades include the creation of a dedicated login gateway for Iraqi course participants, independent from the main course system and accessible only to approved users; the integration of SCORM-compliant course content to ensure proper functionality across devices; and the redesign of the course listing layout to present modules and videos in a more structured and user-friendly format. The platform must support the upload, display, and streaming of high-quality videos, animations, PDFs, slides, and code snippets. Additionally, the service provider will be required to develop a bilingual (Arabic-English) section dedicated to TI-LBs Iraq-related projects, featuring multimedia content, project summaries, and publications in a searchable, accessible format. All upgrades must align with TI-LBs branding and design standards, ensuring a seamless and engaging learning experience. Duration: The duration is extended to less than a month with the final deliverables due July 14, 2025. Targeted Impact: Independent Login Access: A dedicated login gateway should be developed for users accessing the Iraqi courses, separate from the main course system on the website. Access to these courses should be restricted exclusively to approved users. Module Display Enhancements: The course interface, particularly the right-side column, should be adjusted to enhance clarity and navigation: o Module titles are to be displayed in a larger, bolder font and rendered non-clickable. o Video titles should appear beneath their respective module titles in a smaller font and include clickable links for both previously viewed and upcoming videos. SCORM Integration: All course content will be provided in SCORM-compliant zip file format. These files must be fully integrated into the platform and function properly across all modules. Course Listing Redesign or New Template: The current course listing layout should either be redesigned or replaced with a new template that presents modules in a more structured, accessible, and user-friendly format.
